Hello ladies, Thank you to those of you who came over for a visit last week, It was good to join the T gang again.
Wednesday was full of excitement, we were allowed to leave our area and go to the next town for the first time since before Christmas, We could hardly contain our excitement, LOL
We needed tomatoe plants and some more bark for the garden so we decided to go to the Nursery over there In Totana, first we went for a walk on the seafront, it was cloudy but warm although there was a few waves, we don’t usually have waves here so it’s always interesting when we do,
We had our Tostada con Tomatoe at the Cafe on the Marina, sitting on the terrace, social distancing of course, first time for about three weeks, delicious, our favourite breakfast.
I tried to get a good photo of the Almond trees but I'm not sure if they aren't quite in bloom or the blossom has almost finished.
I love to see the goats just across from the Nursery, looks like they were eating left over lettuce stalks, they are usually standing on the top of bales of hay looking around, playing king of the castle! Sometimes we have to wait while they cross the road, takes ages as they have to nibble on every blade of grass, that is until the farmer gets tired of waiting and sends his dog to round them up!!
I love the way the sisters who run the Nursery have trimmed these olive trees, reminds me of South San Francisco, they have trees that look like this, always fascinated me when we used to take our DGS to his Daycare.
Sadly they didn't have any Tomatoe plants or Basil, what a shame we will just have to go again next Month!!
My DH had his 70th Birthday last month, we didn't go out as we are being careful due to his health problems but I decided to make him a card for his special birthday.
I cut the card on my cricut and found a photo from when he was three years old, very cute with his curly blond hair, he was so pleased with it he has still kept it next to the TV.
I hope you are all keeping safe and enjoying better weather, lots of snow around the world, even our four year old GS in England is tired of it now. I'm thankful we don't get any where we are.

Hi Jan, great to See you around again! How lovely that you can go out again, it must feel good. Love the photos, too. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteToo bad you missed the tomato and basil plants, but your excursion into town sounds really fun.

I enjoyed your photos, Jan. How nice that you could go on a little jaunt after being stuck at home for months - even though you couldn't find the plants you wanted. Is your lockdown over or loosening? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteSuper card!
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
P.S. I think you might be linking at Elizabeth's using your post edit page. The last two T-parties, your links took us to a Blogger edit screen.
I'm glad Eileen informed you of the problem, because I just left you a comment on your last week's blog post. I have no idea how you do it, but when I click on your link, it takes me to my own start page. Please read what I wrote about last week too.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks great. It's sad you couldn't find tomato and basil plants. However, I normally grow basil from seeds. They are one of the easiest seeds to grow. If you can find seeds (even a package of them) in your area, you could start them now and they would be ready when you want to put them outside.
Thanks for sharing your outing and that adorable birthday card you made for your husband for T this Tuesday.
Happy belated birthday to your hubby. The card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame, you couldn't find any basil and tomato plants. Do they normally sell them? I say this as our garden centre is not allowed (by law) to sell anything that can be eaten, so no tomato plants or basil. We buy our tomato plants at places where they sell dog food, cat food, partridge cages, seeds and agricultural stuff.
My mouth waters looking at your breakfast. It is our fevorite breakfast too. We often treat ourselves.
Here (inland) the almonds have started to blossom. And it is the older trees that blossom first, the younger trees come later. Also, on the coast they blossom earlier because it's warmer. It is always a joy to behold and then I know spring is coming.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Wow, that is an awful long time you haven´t been out and about!
ReplyDeleteNot that we have other than grocery shopping, weird times! Happy belated birthday, that´s a creative card for sure!
Hugs from here (also belated!)
Your seafront photo makes a lovely scene. The goats would be fun to watch. Happy Belated Birthday to your husband :) Happy T Day!
